 ## Software
 
-See [TrueNAS core].
+[Proxmox] on bare metal, running [TrueNAS Core] as VM.
+
+## Operational issues
+
+One NIC is used by Proxmox as _management port_.<br/>
+This one is given a fixed IP address and bridged from inside the system.
+
+To allow for disk suspension and SMART checks from the VM, Proxmox needs to **directly** attach the disks to it:
+
+```sh
+$ lsblk -do 'NAME,SIZE,TYPE,MODEL,SERIAL' -I '8'

+## Disk passthrough
+
+To allow for disk suspension and SMART checks from a VM, Proxmox needs to **directly** attach the disks to it.
+
+Add all SATA disks to the VM with ID 100:
